List of Ingredients
Easy Cobweb Cupcakes
1 recipe or package of chocolate cake mix
1 tube chocolate or black decorating icing gel
1 package Marshmallow Peeps Pumpkins
1 package Marshmallow Peeps Spooky Cats
1 package Marshmallow Peeps Ghosts
For the icing:
2 egg whites
3 cups confectioner's sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
1/4 teaspoon saltRecipe
Bake 24 chocolate cupcakes according to package or recipe directions and allow to cool completely.
To prepare the icing, combine egg whites, sugar, orange juice and salt in a mixing bowl.
Mix on high speed for several minutes, or until the icing is thick and shiny and holds soft peaks.
If too thick, add a bit more orange juice.
If too thin, add a bit more sugar.
Next, decorate the cupcakes one at a time.
Spoon a tablespoon of the white icing onto the center of a cupcake and spread with a small spatula or butter knife to cover the top.
Using the tube of icing gel, drizzle a spiral of dark icing-begin at the center and spiral out to the edge.
Next, place a toothpick lightly into the icing at the center and drag it out to the edge.
Turn the cupcake and repeat this process in half-inch intervals all around to create a spider web effect.
Place a Peeps Pumpkin, Spooky Cat or Ghost in the center of the cobweb and repeat with remaining cupcakes.
